Functional SpecificationsSPOT features four key functions that enable users to send messages to friends, family or emergency responders, based upon varying levels of need:

Alert 9-1-1: Dispatch emergency responders to your exact location. SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes until power is depleted or 911 is cancelled.

Ask for Help: Request help from friends and family in your exact location. SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes for one hour or until Help is cancelled.

Check In: Let contacts know where you are and that you're okay. SPOT sends three identical messages to the SPOT service for redundancy. The first of those three messages is delivered.

Track Progress: Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using Google Maps. SPOT sends one message every 10 minutes for 24 hours or until SPOT is powered off.
